Hundreds of Halifax students demand action on climate change

Hundreds of students from across the city marched in downtown Halifax demanding action on climate change.

The movement was inspired by 16-year-old Swedish activist Greta Thunberg, who was recently nominated for a Nobel Peace Prize and has inspired thousands of youth around the world to stand up for the environment.

“We are just calling for politicians to listen and to see that as youth, we are engaged and we are educated and we’re not going to put up with procrastination or denial of what is happening to our climate anymore,” said Halifax rally organizer Katie Hutten.
